Boys lacrosse: Essential links, 2014

The NJSIAA/Investors Bank/The Lacrosse Ball Store tournament is in full swing as every section has played through the first round.

It is do-or-die time as many teams entered the playoffs on hot streaks.

Ridge slid up again this week after defeating Immaculata in the Somerset County Tournament final and defeating East Brunswick in the North, Group 4 first round.

Chatham rises as does Northern Highlands and both those teams are in the same section. Rumson moves to No. 18 this week. Hunterdon Central fell from the rankings after its loss in the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament final.

West Morris joins the fray again at No. 20 as it has some very solid victories on its resume.

Who knows what will happen as the season heads towards Group finals and the Tournament of Champions but stay tuned here on NJ.com.
